Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract artwork features a striking red and orange palette, with a prominent central shape resembling the silhouette of a fish or marine creature. The overall composition is minimalist, yet the bold contrasting colors and the distinct form create a visually captivating and dynamic impression. The artist's use of a textured surface, possibly through the application of paint or other mixed media, adds depth and a tactile quality to the piece. The work seems to explore themes of underwater life and the natural world, inviting the viewer to reflect on the beauty and complexity of the marine environment. This contemporary piece likely aims to evoke an emotional response and encourage contemplation of the relationship between humans and the natural world. ...

Artist
Rafal Topolewski
B.1983, Polish

Rafal Topolewski (b.1983, Poland) is a Lisbon-based artist. Primarily working with the medium of painting, Topolewski’s works negotiate ideas about artificiality, psychology and intimacy in relation to representation and objecthood. The works investigate the connection between these aspects and how they intersect. Topolewski’s compositions contain elements that are corresponding with his interest in superstition, belief systems, obsessive-compulsive disorder and the following consequences/aftermath. The above aspects are viewed from both more intimate, personal points of view and experiences but also as a generic social issue. The application of paint is not heavy-handed, the compositions are laden with poetry, elegy and intimacy at once. Having boomeranged from figuration to abstraction and then back again, his work duly picked up new understandings of the way objects and bodies work formally, how they operate within space, and thus their potential for containment within the picture plane. Rafal Topolewski studied Fine Art at the Royal Academy of Arts and at the Manchester Metropolitan University. Selected recent solo and group exhibitions include: Becoming Creature, Tabula Rasa Gallery (London, 2022, group); Castelet, Simo Bacar, (Lisbon 2022, group); Corpo e Mente, curated by Lawrence Van Hagen, Palazzo Barbaro, (Venice 2022, group); If Not, Winter, Simo Bacar, (Lisbon 2022, solo); Isle, Lewis Hammond and Rafal Topolewski, Smart Objects, (Los Angeles 2018, dual-solo); Terraforms, The Concept Space, (London 2018, group), just to name a few. ...
